PS: Written for SoKai week UwU. Happy SoKai week everyone!
"You remember when we snuck out of class and find a secret place to kiss?" Sora asked.
They two were at the Gummiship as they were travelling to Beast's Castle.
"Yeah. And we even kissed at the hallways too, in front of everyone!" Kairi remembered as she laughed. "Mr. Hideo had to break us up in the end."
Sora smiled fondly at that. "We even had to find a secret place JUST for us to kiss."
"True. I can't help but miss it…"
Sora nodded. "You look beautiful in your school uniform though."
Kairi turned to him. "And YOU look dashingly handsome in yours too."
The brown-haired boy leaned in and kissed her cheeks. "Also, we look like those high-school students in one of those romantic drama TV show."
The couple laughed.
"Do you still have it?" Kairi asked.
"Have what?" Sora wondered.
"Your school uniform."
"Yeah, I do. You?"
"Same here."
"Want to…reenact our kissing scene when we get back? While wearing our uniforms?"
Sora smiled. "I would love to, princess!"
He hugged Kairi as she hugged him back. The couple began making out with each other. Suddenly, they got a notification ring from their Gummiphone. Kairi pulled out her phone for her and Sora to see. It was a notification from their family group chat that consists of Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ven, Aqua, Terra, Lea, Isa, Liana, and Luna.
"Oh? They all…can't join in the end?" Sora said. "Aww…"
"Ven, Terra, and Aqua are busy clearing off any Darkness. Lea and Isa are busy with an experimentation at Radiant Garden while Liana and Luna are helping at Tifa's bar. There are a lot of customers too," Kairi read.
"Roxas and Xion are with Cloud and Zack to help train new keyblade wielders at the Land of Departure? Huh, first time I heard Roxas and Xion are helping train new wielders."
"Hmm…only Riku and Naminé are coming."
"Then it's a double date then!"
Kairi smiled. "Yup!"
"Hopefully the others can come with us next time. But, hey, if I'm with you, it makes me feel better knowing you're with me."
Kairi kissed his lips. "Same here, pumpkin~."
Sora and Kairi giggled. Finally, they arrived at Beast's castle. There were many people invited as the two held each other's hands closely, not wanting to lose each other in the crowd. Eventually they got out of the crowd as they went to find where Belle was.
"She could be anywhere here," Kairi said.
"Yeah…oh, is that Mulan?"
"Where?"
Sora point towards the direction where he saw her. "There. And…who're those two?"
It was Mulan for sure, but they also saw another girl with curly red hair. There was another girl who also has curly hair, but was black. The last girl wore peculiar looking clothing.
"Come on."
Kairi pulled Sora's hand as they went to the group.
"We should all ride horses next time!" the red-haired girl enthusiastically said.
Mulan smiled. "Count me in."
"I don't know how to ride one though. Heck, I don't know if Moto-Nui have a horse."
"Well lucky you, coz you're gonna ride one now," the red-haired girl said as she gave the other girl a pat on the shoulder.
"Mulan!" two familiar voices called out.
The three turned to see a boy and a girl walking towards them.
"Sora! Kairi!" Mulan called back as she walked over to them and hugged them. "It's good to see you two." Mulan broke off the hug.
"New friends are they now?" Merida asked causing the three to look at her.
"Merida, Moana, meet Sora and Kairi."
"Hello," the boy known as Sora waved whilst smiling.
"It's nice to meet you two," the girl known as Kairi said as she bowed her head.
"Call me Merida."
"I'm Moana."
"Mulan's been talking about the two of you," Merida said. "Heard you're good with that key sword blade?"
"The keyblade? Yup!" Sora said.
"That's the same one as Mickey, right?" Moana asked.
"You met Mickey?" Sora asked in surprise.
Merida and Moana nodded.
"Me and Moana here was captured by that dark evil woman. We're taken to some strange castle and that's how we met each other," Merida explained. "And, well, met the other princesses and other maidens. They're all pleasant too."
"Sadly, some of them can't come," Moana said.
"They're probably busy with their own affairs. Like our friends," Kairi explained.
"There's always a next time," Sora said.
"BY the way," Merida began. "You two are a couple yeah?"
"Yup," the two said.
"Me and Moana have boyfriends ourselves."
"No, I don't!" Moana exclaimed.
"Course' ya do. Then why're you blushing all a sudden?"
Moana touched the side of her face, widening her eyes as she did so. 'I do?'
"You were always talking about him too. Kimo was his name?" Mulan asked.
"W-what about him?" Moana stuttered. "He's just a-"
"Friend," Merida finished. "Yeah, yeah lassie. I've heard that excuse waaaayyyy too much."
Sora and Kairi laughed.
"How long have you two been dating Merida?" Kairi asked.
"Well, around 5 to 7 months I'd say? He was from a different kingdom. Luckily this Kingdom of his isn't all too far. His name is Callum. I call him Cal. I met him when he was training with his sword in the woods. Moana here…"
Merida then gripped both Moana's shoulder.
"I met Kimo when we were voyaging. We stumbled upon an island and there were inhabitants there. The chief and his son, Kimo came to greet me and my father."
"And when you met him, you were star-struck and fell in love with him at first sight," Merida said as she leaned her head on Moana's shoulder.
"Shut up!"
"Belle! Cinderella" Mulan called out.
They all turned to see Belle and Cinderella walking towards them. Their beautiful gown shone spectacularly.
"You've all made it!" Belle said.
Moana, Mulan and Merida went to give the two princesses a group hug.
"It's so good to see you again sisters!" Merida said.
"Same here," Cinderella replied. They then broke off from the hug. "I heard some of them aren't coming."
"Sadly. But Aurora and Ariel are on their way," Mulan answered.
"By the way, you two look awesome!" Moana complimented.
Belle and Cinderella smiled at them warmly.
"Thank you," Belle replied.
"I thought you all may like it," Cinderella said.
They then turned to look at the keyblade couple. Belle widened her eyes in surprise. "Sora?"
"Hey you two. Long time no see."
The two hugged Sora.
"It's been too long," Cinderella said.
"And you've grown!" added Belle.
The two broke off the hug. Belle then noticed Kairi.
"Hello," Kairi said as she smiled.
Belle widened her eyes. "Wait…Kairi? Is that you?"
"You remember me?"
"Yes, from when we were captured by Maleficent," Cinderella said. "You…look at you! Looks like Sora is not the only one who's grown."
Kairi giggled. "It's good to see you two again."
The two gave Kairi a hug.
"Sora! Kairi!" a familiar feminine voice called out.
They all looked to see a blonde girl holding hand in hand with a silver-haired boy as they walked towards them. The blonde girl was waving at them.
"It's Riku and Naminé!" Sora said before waving at them. "Over here guys!"
"Wait, is that boy…" Merida trailed off.
Belle nodded. "Don't worry. He's changed."
Moana gave a worried expression. "If you want, me, Mulan and Merida can keep an eye."
"It's alright, there's no need for that," Cinderella assured them. "Merlin, Fairy Godmother and Yen Sid explained everything. He and Naminé met with all of us before and apologized."
"If you say so sis…" Merida said.
"Maybe I should've taken my oar?" Moana whispered.
"You two are seriously not going to jump on Riku when his lover is around right?" Mulan questioned.
The two looked at Sora, Kairi, Cinderella and Belle chatting with Riku and his lover. They were chatting happily. The two saw the blonde girl, Naminé, leaning on Riku's shoulder as she smiled.
The two sighed in remorse.
"I guess you're right," Merida agreed with slight reluctance. Moana agreed as well.
"Maybe you two can try to take the time to get to know him better."
"Maybe…" Moana said,
Mulan smiled. "Well, I guess I'll take that as something positive. Come on, let's join the others."
But what none of them noticed was that Sora was quietly looking at the three with worry in his expression. Minutes went by as everyone were chatting about. Cinderella went to meet with Prince Charming to discuss some things.
"Hey lazy bum," Kairi said as she wrapped her arms around his.
Sora jumped in surprise. "Huh? Oh, hey Kairi."
"What's got you so down my lazy bum~?"
"Oh, I'm worried."
"For Riku?"
"Yeah. I know it's a long time ago since he helped Maleficent plunged the world to darkness but…I'm worried some might still hold a grudge against him. I don't want one of my best buddies being treated like dirt. I mean, can you imagine if Ven, Naminé, Aqua, Terra, Roxas and the others were treated the same way as Riku?"
Kairi leaned her head on Sora. "It's true, Riku did horrible things in the past while trying to help me. But he did his best to fix the things he has done. You and I know he's changed for the better right?"
Sora nodded. "True…"
"If they can't accept that Riku has changed, they have to deal with whatever their feelings against Riku themselves. Trust takes time Sora, that's what Aqua, Yen Sid my mom, Merlin and Lulu told me. Besides, I don't think Moana and Merida won't do anything to Riku while Naminé is around."
He sighed. "Yeah…I guess you're right."
"Cheer up Sora. I heard the dance is gonna start."
"Oh? Are we going slow or fast?"
Kairi shrugged. "Not sure. But I'm sure we'll be ready."
Sora leaned in and kissed her head. "I'm always ready when you're by my side."
"And what if I'm not?" she teased.
"Then who am I going to dance with? This is a couple dance after all."
Sora and Kairi continued to happily chat as Cinderella and Charming watched them.
"I just thought of the perfect song for those two," Cinderella said.
"What do you have in mind sweetie?" Charming asked. Cinderella whispered in his ear. "Good choice."
"Come on, let's grab some food and drinks. I'm starving here," Kairi said as she pulled Sora's arm.
"Sure!"
Suddenly, Cinderella opened her mouth as she started to sing.
"So this is love. Mmmmm…"
Sora smiled fondly as he sees Kairi marveled at the food and drinks. She pointed at them as she looked back at Sora. His beloved look back at him as she smiled back at him. The Princess of Hearts walked to him and hugged him. Sora was slightly surprised but happily hugged back.
"So this is love. So this is what makes life divine."
Sora helped Kairi take the drinks as they walked together to the giant window showing them a marvelous view of the sky. They stared at the beautiful sunset. He then took Kairi's hand. They intertwined their fingers with the other as they drank their drinks.
"My heart has wings. Mmmmm. And I can fly."
The keyblade couple chatted a bit before placing the glass at a nearby table. Sora held his hand out to Kairi to which she accepts. He leads her to the dance floor, in the middle of the ballroom. As they were finally in the middle, Sora and Kairi stepped forward, their distance towards each other closing. Kairi nodded to Sora, ready for this beautiful moment. They got in their dancing position. The couple began to sway side by side as they danced and waltz along with the song.
"I'll touch every star in the sky. So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of."
As Naminé was chatting with Mulan, Merida, Moana, and the newly arrived Ariel and Aurora, Riku tapped his girlfriend's shoulder. She turned to him wondering what was the matter. Riku pointed to the only couple dancing on the dance floor before pulling out his Gummiphone to record Sora and Kairi dancing. Naminé beamed with happiness seeing the two danced away. Mulan, Merida and Moana also began watching the two, as did the others.
"Mmmmm. Mmmmm. So this is love…"
The keyblade couple stopped dancing. The two closed the gap between them, closing their eyes. They leaned in closer and closer until their lips met, feeling the soft lips of each other's as they wrapped their arms around each other. The crowds cheered at their dance, but Sora and Kairi doesn't mind as they have already drown themselves in their love and ecstasy.
AN: Hope you guys enjoy it! Thanks to one of 23jk's Roxas and Kairi's DG vid, I'm able to make "So This Is Love?" but with Sora and Kairi. It's THE perfect song for SoKai week haha! :D. Originally, I planned to make two chapters or maybe even three while I'm at it. But now I'm interning at another city for 6 months now and I sadly can't write much for SoKai week's story TT. I'm also gonna be busy with my new content that I'm starting to make on YouTube. So, I'm very sorry guys. But that's not to say I'm cancelling in continuing my SoKai story. Like I said, I'm seeing this story through. In total I got around two or three chapters left to finish. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this story and focus on other things.
Please give me constructive feedbacks and constructive criticism, and don't be afraid to tell me which parts of the story I need to improve. This is Samuel Loegan saying, thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next chapter! Goodbye! And happy SoKai week everyone!
